Reopening of assessment was invalidated for lack of tangible material and the AO's independent application of mind; the notice under section 147/148 rested on 'borrowed satisfaction' from the investigation wing without requisite nexus or reasoned inference of escapement and therefore failed the four essential ingredients for reopening.
